O.K., that helps my CS stock but what does it do for MRVC? Later, (-8 Dennis 8-) P.S. I own some MRVC as of today. Jack and Sector, see the education was good for something.

There's no need to fear, CABLETRON is here. I just beat them out of two accounts because they are competing against Nortel and Cisco. They have come up winners in all of the reviews for the last month, (But they lose everytime because the tests are not realworld.) and my sales people are bumping into those reviews in EVERY ACCOUNT! No one is going to run 100% sustained, full duplex gigabit anything. The equipment on the ends of the pipes can not handle it. Even for a collapsed backbone, with Nortel 450s or NBase 5000HDs in the wiring closets, would you want to trust Your ENTIRE NETWORK to a second or third party? I remind customers of the tests on 10MB shared media and "What does 10MB really mean anyway?" - and they all know that at 40% utilization they are in performance problem area. (I don't tell them about the collision domain or lack thereof in the GB) HEY MRVC!!!!! SEE THE IMPORTANCE OF THE TRADE RAG REVIEWS? No one even mentioned Cabletron in our accounts 6 weeks ago. jc
